BOSTON — Jayson Tatum will not play in Game 2 of a first-round series against the Orlando Magic on Wednesday night, according to the Boston Celtics.
Joe Mazzulla said during his pregame press conference that Tatum will be considered “day to day” with a bone bruise in his right (shooting) wrist moving forward. Tatum suffered the injury during a hard fall with 8:28 left in the fourth quarter of Boston’s 103-86 Game 1 win. Al Horford believed Kentavious Caldwell-Pope’s flagrant foul on the play had something extra on it, but Jrue Holiday thought the play was just a regular hard foul.

Tatum participated in part of Tuesday’s practice with the team and was able to do some on-court work on Wednesday before Game 2, but the team ruled him out shortly before tip-off.
“I know he’s doing everything he can to put himself in position to play,” said Mazzulla. “He’s just going to try to take it day by day.”
Tatum had never missed a playoff game in his career. Before Wednesday, he had played in each of the Celtics’ 114 playoff games since the organization drafted him in 2017.
Without Tatum, the Celtics went 8-2 during the regular season. Both of the losses were to the Magic, but little can be taken from the second of those games because Boston sat all of its starters that night.
Jamahl Mosley said the Celtics have other players to step up in Tatum’s absence.
“He’s such an unbelievable scoring threat,” Mosley said. “Obviously, they have other guys to pick up the slack there. Usually in those games, it’s Al Horford who gets the (starting) nod. And so then there’s size, there’s rebounding, there’s switchability that Tatum still possesses, but just his veteran presence on the court changes the game for them as well. So we’ve seen that before, but the ability is that the other guys pick up the slack even more so in that case.”

KOMENTÁŘ: Šťastné letní rozpaky a nejcennější titul. Doba temna je pryč, Kometa vrátila do Brna hrdost
Skvěle namixovaný soubor nenápadného a v roli hlavního kouče v extralize debutujícího stratéga Kamila Pokorného předběhl dobu, Kometa hodlala dospět k titulu v nové aréně pod kuratelou bosse Libora Zábranského až za dva roky.I letos to mělo vypadat jinak. Ještě loni na startu přípravy byl trenérem Jaroslav Modrý, který si získal srdce fanoušků v předchozí sezoně, brněnskému klubu dal ale ještě loni v létě nečekané sbohem. Osud tomu chtěl, že si nedlouho před šedesátkou odbyl extraligový debut v roli hlavního kouče Kamil Pokorný, nenápadný pracant, který měl také svůj podpis pod titulové roky 2017 a 2018 v roli asistenta trenéra.O pár týdnů později pak Kometa přišla i o zamýšlenou brankářskou jedničku Aleše Stezku, který se těsně před podpisem s Brnem rozhodl ještě na rok podepsat v Seattlu. Kometa tak vsadila all in na fantoma první ligy Michala Postavu z Přerova a zrodila se hvězda. Přičinilo se i vedení klubu, které mělo v sezoně zlatou ruku. Kromě návratu ztraceného […]

After long NFL career devoid of drama, Bill Belichick begins North Carolina era with messy PR stumbles involving girlfriend

Canelo Alvarez delivers first shot at William Scull in Saudi Arabia and shows he is in a different league
Even before stepping into the ring, Canelo Álvarez is making it clear he's already in control. While most fighters go into fight week focused, silent, and tucked away in training, Canelo is doing things a little differently. He's walking into the spotlight with the confidence of a rock star, and honestly, it's hard to look away. In Saudi Arabia, where the boxing world has gathered for one of the most anticipated fights of the year, all eyes are on the Mexican champion.William Scull, his undefeated Cuban opponent, is playing it low key. He's not talking much, not showing much, and definitely not competing for attention. That alone is making this fight feel even more like a one-man show at least so far. Canelo has been spotted at exclusive venues, showing off his signature fashion and calm swagger that says, "I've […]
